I highly recommend it.  We used it to great satisfaction on Spider-Man 
2 GC for heaps in both physical and virtual memory.  The default 
Nintendo heap allocator is really unsatisfactory.  I didn't find tuning 
the default defines to provide any significant benefit, but it's worth 
double checking that you're using the minimal alignment possible.
